    I just finished an amazing 15-day tour through the Balkans, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our guide, Goran. From start to finish, he made this trip so smooth and fun. I had flight delays and some stressful arrival issues, and Goran kept in touch the whole time, making sure I felt comfortable and got to the group without a problem. We were lucky to have a small group, and Goran was awesome at listening to what we all wanted and adjusting things so everyone had the best time possible. He knows so much about the culture and history in all the areas we visited, and his recommendations for food and things to do during free time were always spot on. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how welcome he made me feel. He went out of his way to take photos when I asked, explain the area so I felt confident exploring, and just made the whole experience feel easy and fun. Plus, Goran has a great sense of humor—our running “very nice” Borat impression became a theme of the trip and kept everyone laughing. I’d 100% recommend Goran as a guide and hope I get to do another tour with him someday. Very nice! Also Tour Radar was marvelous. They made booking easy. The itinerary was clear. They helped me book airport arrival and departure transfers. Customer service was available and effective when I needed them, especially in the beginning when I faced the flight issues. Thank you so much for helping me have a memorable trip I will talk about for years to come!

    Our tour to the Balkan & Extended for 13 days with Teodor Madzarevic for 13 days were excellent, he was so good in giving the information and history of the Balkan in detail and we were so happy to have him as our guide. If we will take other Balkan tour we would like to have him for our guide. Recommended….. and he was always on time. We would give him double tumbs.

      The longest ride would be from Belgrade to Ljubljana. It is 530km long road. However, the ride itself is not exhausting since it is a highway, and you will have two breaks along the way, one in Zagreb where we have a city tour and lunch break, and the other in Otočec Castle.
